They will never in a million years get the FAA to certify an EFI
system. Lycoming has been trying for eight or ten years so far. If
Lycoming can't do it Mistral won't be able to do it. They should
stick and aircraft carb on it.

Rockwell Collins has a EFI unit that *is* certified and is available on a
Rotax.  I'm involved with another program and we have talked with R/C
about a system for a 6 cyl. aircraft engine.  Their stuff is well done but
a little pricey for the homebuild crowd.

Is that for the Predator Rotax?

Paul Lamar

I don't know if Predator uses the injected version.  If they do, they must
be new and/or converted airframes.

Here's a link to a commercial use:

That is Light Sport. A whole different engine rule system.
